The result of the debate was merge to Category:Toronto Blueshirts players. - EurekaLott 19:04, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
 * These ought to be merged, no preferance as to how. -- ProveIt (talk) 23:35, 10 June 2006 (UTC)


 * There were no other Toronto Blueshirts besides the NHA version, so it's not necessary to DAB. Merge into Category:Toronto Blueshirts players. BoojiBoy 00:08, 11 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge into Category:Toronto Blueshirts players per BoojiBoy. -- Usgnus 03:15, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

- User:Arual 14:52, 10 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Object - Needs discussion along with other Idol series. Not eligible for speedy. Neutral. I don't watch the show, I just contested its eligibility for speedy. BoojiBoy 15:37, 10 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Agree - Category:Idol series winners is a more representative name, although I wish there was an even better name than 'Idol series'. -- ArglebargleIV 05:08, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment. The article is Idol series, but the parent cat is Category:Idol television series. Should we be consistent? -- Usgnus 13:38, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Good catch -- consistency is good. I like the title "Idol television series" better myself, but either way, for consistency's sake, the two categories+article should all be based on either "Idol series" or "Idol television series". -- ArglebargleIV 13:56, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

- User:Arual 01:30, 10 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Object - "Pop Idol" is the title of the British version only and the category includes other Idol programmes from around the world, e.g. American Idol, Indian Idol, etc. The category needs a better name but "Pop Idol contestants" isn't it. BoojiBoy 14:12, 10 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Category:Idol series contestants ? User:Arual 14:49, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

The result of the debate was Delete --William Allen Simpson 05:17, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

If it were just the misspelling of "alleged" it would be a speedy rename. But it isn't. This category is based on speculations and rumors, not encyclopedic facts. In the case of living people, it's just asking for legal trouble. Delete. Angr (talk) 21:44, 10 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom, silly category Jaranda wat's sup 22:06, 10 June 2006 (UTC)
 * keep yes it is based on speculations and rumors, but since so many articles mention the speculation and rumor of people's sexual orientation it makes sense to make a category so people can easyly find other articles of other people who are also believed to be gay. the mispelling has got to go. this category does not "ask for legal trouble" most of the articles allready mention the subjects' alledged sexual orientation such as the rumored affair between Missy Elliott and Tweet, furthermore the rumor of Tom Cruise's sexuality is simply being presented educationally and reporting allready widely available information such as Tabloids, Newscoverage of lawsuits, and even an episode of South Park. This is allready mentioned on the Tom Cruise and South Park articles. if that's asking for trouble then if then you should go to their talk pages and suggest those referances be removed. the category nis not silly because its not intended to just be there for the hell of it, its aim is to unite articles into a category where they are all related to one another allready. Qrc2006 22:56, 10 June 2006 (UTC)
 * WP:NOT a rumor mill sorry Jaranda wat's sup 23:11, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

 * Delete You gotta be kidding me. -Myxomatosis 05:16, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per above. As Twittenham said, articles allow the rumors to be sourced, categories do not, nor do they permit context and explanation of a rumor's importance. ×Meegs 06:18, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

The result of the debate was Rename to Category:Concept aircraft. Vegaswikian 04:42, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

Rename the category to incorporate a greater range of articles, as at the moment there is only one that qualifies. -- GW_Simulations |User Page 16:34, 10 June 2006 (UTC)
 * What scope do you have in mind? Regards, David Kernow 23:31, 10 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Sorry, forgot to say. I was looking at making it cover all aircraft that did not make it into production. (Including aircraft for which prototypes were built and flew, but the project was never put into full production). -- GW_Simulations |User Page 14:48, 11 June 2006 (UTC)
 * If not Luna Santin's suggestion below, then Category:Prototype aircraft, perhaps with explanatory note at top of category page...? Regards, See below. David Kernow 20:43, 11 June 2006 (UTC), amended 01:14, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Category:Concept aircraft, perhaps? I'll bet there's a good deal that could be written on the subject, past and present. Or, find a more expansive area... "Concept X's," to include a wider variety of projects, or just "Prototypes," perhaps. Luna Santin 08:53, 11 June 2006 (UTC)
 * I'd say concept because prototype would exclude those that were never built anyway. -- GW_Simulations |User Page 20:04, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the clarification; looks like Category:Concept aircraft fits the bill. Regards, David Kernow 01:14, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

This is just one of hundreds of pointless categories for models by (?) designer/magazine or the like created by one user recently. Cindy Crawford is in about a hundred. Does anyone feel like taking the time to nominate the lot? Osomec 15:17, 10 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete as above. Osomec 15:17, 10 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Let's do this one at a time, please. I'd prefer to figure out what to do with the "Omega" one first before we nominate them all.--Mike Selinker 19:29, 10 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete We should certainly do them all at once, rather than one at a time Mike, but I don't have time to nominate them all. Twittenham 15:52, 11 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I meant "Let's settle the Omega one, and then do all the rest at once."--Mike Selinker 22:58, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

The result of the debate was weak keep. Conscious 16:34, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

Batman inspired is not a suitable category for Wikipedia, as categories don't allow annotations you can't annotate why someone is added, and since category inclusion should be self-evident and non-controversial, I don't see how it can pass muster. CovenantD 15:10, 10 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete CovenantD 15:10, 10 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep On the contrary; it "should be obvious to a reader of the article why the article is included". That means that the justification and qualifications can be in the article, and it is one of the editorial decisions there whether it belongs in the cat. The sample I tried seems to pass.
 * Compare Septentrionalis 15:52, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
 * I made a Category called "Batman pastiches" after finding a "Superman pastiches" and I'm afraid I may have acted too soon. But I agree that the relevent article contains the justification for the categorization. Roygbiv666 02:29, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Batman pastiches sounds great to me.--Mike Selinker 14:22, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

 * Unsure. I can see some value to it as a member of Category:Fictional characters by nature, and I can see logic in grouping GIR and Homestar Runner, but by the time we're putting Futurama's Fry into the group, it's turned into objective controversy.
 * Sorry, forgot to sign. That's me. Luna Santin 23:43, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

More pop culture fancruft. Contains only movie and cartoon characters. Literary works are already covered under Category:Novels dealing with slavery. CovenantD 13:53, 10 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep Where else are articles about fictional slaves to be put? Osomec 15:03, 10 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. Clearly a major characteristic of these characters.--Mike Selinker 19:29, 10 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. Outriggr 06:08, 11 June 2006 (UTC)
 * "Contains only movie and cartoons"? That seems to be a farily clear statement of cultural elitism. One's personal preferences and/or opinions regarding what is "serious" entertainment are irrelevant to the organisational purpose of categories. I don't believe there is any reason to delete this category, nor does the nomination produce any arguments of weight.--Sean Black 10:13, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

Duplicates existing category's description - there's not enough articles to justify a subcat. CovenantD 13:53, 10 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep There are enough to justify a subcategory. It's certainly better to separate the real people and the fictional people than to jumble them up. Osomec 15:19, 10 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. Definitely don't combine real and fictional people.--Mike Selinker 19:29, 10 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment I should mention that this category was not very popular over at Wikiproject Comics and that's why I listed it here. CovenantD 22:37, 10 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. Can see where you're coming from, that is a small category, but mixing real and fictional people seems to bring up credibility issues for Wikipedia. Luna Santin 23:31, 10 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment. If keep is decided, modify the parent cat to encourage editors to put fictional characters into the subcat and reserve the parent cat for real people. -- Usgnus 17:27, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

Soft redirect already exists and cat now empty; removing cat would prevent new articles being addedAndrewRT 11:56, 10 June 2006 (UTC)
 * I assume you mean, which is the mis-capitalised, almost-empty version of the proper . It's also the one with the CfD tag on it, so I've gone ahead and modified the proposal. Also, deleting the category would only stop people who check their edits before saving. I'm sure that there have been discussions before about how to cope without the bot, but I can't seem to find them. SeventyThree(Talk) 13:53, 10 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Very Strong Keep I stumbled across this category a while back and found quite a few articles in it even though it did not exist.  A day after your comment that there are no articles in it there are now five (which I am now going to move).  I don't think that deleting the category would solve anything as people were still adding to it even when it was a red link.  I started conversations about this in two places Talk:Categories for deletion and Talk: Living people and got two differing responses about the best course of action.  I think its best to keep the category until someone gets round to making a bot to automatically fix misplaced articles.  Until then we just need to keep an eye on it and move any misplaced articles.  RicDod 08:50, 11 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete Can't recreation of categories be blocked. Twittenham 15:54, 11 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Not really. It is possible to add articles to any category, whether the header text exists or not - does not have any header text, but it quite often has pages in. Protection from editing the header wouldn't help, and is only possible when the page exists. SeventyThree(Talk) 16:30, 11 June 2006 (UTC)


 * Comment I regularly patrol this cat for misplaced articles, and part of the problem is that articles added here are bluelinked because of the disclaimer. Very few people looking at the article are going to know that the cat is wrong unless it's redlinked. That said, there are a lot of such categories (all those in Category:Wikipedia category redirects); are they all to be deleted? Z iggurat 23:40, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

 * Rename to Vasa family instead. "House of" is kind of ambiguous and sounds more like a place category than a family category.  -- Cyde↔Weys  16:02, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

 * There is now a discussion on the lindy hop talk page about the proper capitalization of the term, which may result in the names of many dance articles being changed. Until that is resolved, I'm going to request that this name change be held off. --Cswrye 14:17, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

The result of the debate was Delete (from templates and user pages) --William Allen Simpson 05:17, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

What is the purpose of the category? The implication is that anyone not listed here supports racism, which is a dangerous thing to imply! I suggest the category is removed from the templates and deleted, or that a name without any such implication or ambiguity is used. E.g. 'Category:Wikipedians who think it is useful to tell other people working on an encyclopedia about their personal beliefs.' HappyDog 01:11, 10 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, unencyclopedic, potentially divisive category (actually, it's the implication of the contrary category that is divisive). This simply isn't needed.  -- Cyde↔Weys  03:59, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

 * Keep This can be useful for users who want to collaborate on certain articles, e.g. KKK. Oppose infers actively oppose rather than passively uninterested in the subject (like me) AndrewRT 12:00, 10 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Wouldn't a theoretical Category:Wikipedians who are interested in racism serve that purpose much better?--Sean Black 10:10, 11 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment I agree with Sean Black... I think that a Category:Wikipedians who are interested in racism would be better. --Dakart 02:09, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

 * Delete (Renaming it to Category:Wikipedians who actively oppose racism would set a bad precedent)-- E    Asterion  u talking to me? 19:34, 10 June 2006 (UTC)
 * keep if i put up a Oakland Athletics category on my userpage it doesnt suggest that everyone else does not like the A's it just means i feel i like them so strongly that i want to say it outloud, similarly i dont think that myself not having a monolithic I OPPOSE RACISM sticker on my page and being a list of racism opponents suggest that i am racist or not. people that are say, Act now to stop war and end racism (ANSWER) coalition may want to go out of their way and put such a sticker on their user page. its silly to suggest that some people might think that if they dont say I OPPOSE RACISM then theyll be assummed as racists then you might as well get rid of all user categories under this logic since not having any particular sticker (yes i call them stickers) would suggest what they are or are not. this also suggest a point of view that racism is right or wrong and the last time i checked wikipedia has a very strong neutral point of view policy. Qrc2006 23:03, 10 June 2006 (UTC)
 * This is not an objection to the 'stickers'/templates, but to the category. By all means continue to use the templates on user pages, but remove this category from the templates.  Whilst this category is technically dividing all Wikipedians into 'those who have put an anti-racism sticker on their user page' and 'those who have not', the naming of the category implies that the division is 'those who oppose racism' and 'those who do not', which is a dangerous implication to make. --HappyDog 13:47, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

The result of the debate was Rename to Category:Counter-Vandalism Wikipedians. Since this is a user category, it needs to have Wikipedians in the name as pointed out in the discussion. This rename fixes the naming issue from the nom. I have no objections if it comes back if my choice here was in error. Vegaswikian 04:50, 20 June 2006 (UTC)


 * Moved from speedy since it does not meet criteria. Also fixed typo. Vegaswikian 00:31, 10 June 2006 (UTC)
